[quote=Anonymous]My elderly MIL just let me know she isn't up to cooking Christmas dinner this year, and would I do it? She hates cooking, and I tolerate it. I'll be at her home in a small town in NC, so want to keep it simple in terms of ingredients, dishes needed, etc. The family has probably eaten the exact same meal for the last 50 years of Christmases. Do I just do her standards, or is it ok to deviate? They are very very basic eaters. (ie, I made them kabobs for the first time ever last time I was there, and last time they were here, they had Mexican food for the 1st time). My husband is just grateful I've offered to cook. Ham, green beans, mac and cheese? Are roasted brussel sprouts too adventurous? Any other "easy" starches besides sweet potatoes? I'm reading back through the other Christmas threads, but I can't emphasize how basic I need to keep the menu. She doesn't have a spice rack, so I'll need to tote those ingredients with me down the road.[/quote]
